My Daddy & Mummy didn't manage to bring me for vaccination before I started school, so here I am with chicken pox. I started having fever (up to 38.5dC) early one Wednesday morning, and by evening, there were spots all over my body. It then spread to my arms, legs, face, head, ears... I even got a little pox on my lips, but that one healed fast. Those on my head caused me pain when my hair is combed.
Of course it itched a lot, but Mummy told me not to scratch if I didn't want any scabs or scars on my skin. I can't help it sometimes, so I start to 'scratch', but when Mummy gives me a look, I say "I didn't scratch, just tap-tap only". I have been good at not scratching much during day, but when I'm asleep I can't help scratching. There were mornings when I woke up with dried blood under my fingernails and my face/clothes a mess :(
I call myself a leopard, because the in my picture book, the leopard has spots just like me.
Thank God that I am recovering well. Now Daddy and Mummy says I have to go back to school soon, but I don't want to...
We are also keeping a close lookout on Ian. We hope he will be alright and not get the chicken pox.
So, last weekend was my first outing in awhile. Daddy and Mummy had a Groupon voucher to use at Bella Marina at Straits Quay, so there we went, together with my Kau Fu. I have only been to Straits Quay once before, but when Mummy told me that is where we are going, I squealed in excitement! I remember the boats and yatchs and how fun it was the last time I went.
We had a yummy lunch and dessert. We took some pictures, can you see the remainings of my calamine-covered spots?
